Farewell, my friends, I'm bound for Canaan
I'm trav'ling through the wilderness;
Your company has been delightful
You, who doth leave my mind distressed.
I go away, behind to leave you
Perhaps never to meet again
But if we never have the pleasure
I hope we'll meet on Canaan's land.

An Even Better Name

Wow. Malachi Throne. That's just so utterly improbable. It sounds like the name of an Old Testament-quoting kung-fu supervillain played by Troy McClure.

Also, note the frequency of monkey-character voiceovers and monkey-related roles and themes (especially as Narrator of LANCELOT LINK) in Mr. Throne's cv. And his recurring cameo in ARK II, which the Confidence Man regards, for better or for ill, as one of his foundational childhood Ur-texts.
